My dad has been a car salemen ever since he retired. afaik he has consistently made 6 figures for the last 4-5 years.
He says that selling new cars will get you very little money as its a flat rate /car. This goes up once you reach certain numbers. The real money is in used cars as that is where the most markup is and where you can hit huge "grosses".
As others have said, this job does take a toll on your personal life though. He has to work long hours and even have to come in on his days off if he has to deliver a car for a customer.
We have been in the middle of lunch on his day off and he has had to take off because a customer called before.
Also, the pay is like an extreme roller coaster. Some months he will be all depressed because he only managed to sell 2 cars, then other months he will be super stoked because he made $10,000+
